Everything You need to Know About the Peloton, Including Cost, Classes, and More

Mackenzie Biehl has a million reasons why it’s hard to find time to exercise: She works 50+ hours a week in sales and marketing. She’s a co-host for her local TV channel. She serves on the board of directors for The Alzheimer’s Project. She runs a popular blog. And oh yeah, she has a toddler too. But none of those stop her from working out — or should we say, strapping in — thanks to her Peloton bike, an indoor spinning bicycle that allows people to live-stream workouts or choose from an on-demand list. It’s a love affair that started when Biehl made the purchase in October 2018.

“It’s a time-saver,” she says of the 20-minute workouts she chooses to do 4x a week from the comfort of her own home. “It’s hard to find an excuse for not walking 20 feet to work out. And once we clip in, we’re three touches away from starting a workout.”

Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, co-founder and CEO of HerCampus, can relate. She and her husband were gifted a Peloton bike as a joint gift from their parents for the holidays, a few months after they welcomed their baby daughter. “I used to love going to spin classes, but the time to get there, park, get into the studio, wait for the bathroom, make my way in and get my bike set up early enough before class starts, and then make my way out afterwards just isn’t worth it to me anymore,” she tells Parade.com. “I need to be as efficient as possible these days.”
